Base district · industrial · unincorporated Maricopa County AZ
Light industrial - quiet well-screened uses near residential; self-storage allowed with a Plan of Development

Allowed, but only with a discretionary approval
Multifamily is listed as POD in all three industrial districts and the industrial standards table (506) states no per-dwelling-unit lot area. Unusual, and a genuine opportunity; verify with a pre-application meeting before relying on it
Allowed, but only with a discretionary approval
DERIVED - both multifamily and retail-type uses appear as POD in industrial districts. Verify before relying on it

No district in this dataset publishes a floor area ratio: intensity in this code is governed by lot coverage, height and — for residential — density or minimum lot area per dwelling unit. See the metro page for the provenance note on that.
Self-storage is on the table here. Price the pad: net-rentable area, stabilized NOI, yield on cost and the land bid it supports — free, in about a minute.
The quick screen is free and needs no account. The sample study is the seven-page deliverable the Feasibility Desk produces.

This is a base-district reading of the ordinance text, transcribed from the source below. It is not a Zoning Verification Letter, not a determination by the jurisdiction, not legal advice, and not a substitute for asking the planning department about a specific parcel. Overlays, recorded plan conditions, rezoning stipulations and parcel geometry are not checked here, and any one of them can change the answer on this page.
Verify locally before you spend money. Call the planning counter, pull the parcel's zoning-map designation and its case history, and confirm the section cited above still reads the way it reads here.
